St. Francis founded the Secular Franciscan Order so that the laity might live Franciscan Spirituality in the world. If you want to follow in the footsteps of Christ after the example of St. Francis, you may be interested in becoming a Secular Franciscan. St. Clare Fraternity meets on the first Sunday of each month in the Ave Maria Parish Hall from 12pm-4pm. For more information, please contact Sheila Solomon, OFS at: [email protected]
